Immigration common sense (To the lawmakers)

﻿

First,
secure the borders of the United States.I'm not sure why that is so difficult for politicians to
understand.Even in past centuries when
Ellis Island was open and processing people who were entering the country there
were limitations regarding entry.Secure
the borders and make sure the people living around the borders are safe.

Second,
enforce the law.Again, it seems axiomatic
that if a law is on the books that is meant to regulate some behavior, the
first and foremost consideration in controlling that behavior is to enforce the
law that has been written to regulate the behavior.That is not rocket scientist thinking; anyone
but a politician knows that is common knowledge.

Third,
keep people safe.Not just the people
who live in the border states, but all people who are suffering at the hands of
people who use stealth techniques to slip into the country and pillage the
resources.

Fourth,
complete the first, second and third priorities above so as to prevent the same
situation we are experiencing now from happening five, ten or fifteen years
from now.Those who have been elected in
Congress as well as the Administration need to take a common sense approach to
this issue and do what is needed to secure our borders, enforce the laws of our
land instead of making countless new ones, and look after our resources during
the process.It is your responsibility
so please get it done.
